Longevity Series #1: Lifespan by David Sinclair
🧬 Is aging inevitable, or is it a disease we can treat?
We are kicking off our Q1 Health & Longevity Season with the book that sparked the modern obsession with living forever: Lifespan by David Sinclair.
Sinclair, a Harvard geneticist, argues that aging isn't a natural fact of life-it’s a pathology. And if it's a pathology, it can be treated. We’ll discuss the science of "information theory," why stressing your cells (cold/fasting) might keep you young, and the ethics of a world where people live to 150.
This series is curated and co-led by Divya, who is deeply interested in this topic and has graciously agreed to guide the discussion!
🎧 "No-Reading" Option - Don't have time to read the whole book? No problem. We recommend listening to this 8-episode podcast series where Sinclair breaks down the key concepts. It’s a perfect alternative: 👉 Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair
